Seventy years before there was Grumpy Cat, there was Walter Chandoha. Chandoha's gorgeous, candy-colored photos of adorable cats literally defined the genre of cat photography for more than seven decades, and his new book, Walter Chandoha, The Cat Photographer, published by Aperture features his 50 best images. Come to Koneko on January 20th from 6-8pm, meet Walter and hear some of his tips and tricks for taking your cat pics to the next level.
